What was the Boerboel used for historically?
They were a ‘corale dog’, simply a utility dog that had many different tasks to perform. You may be told that they were used to hunt lions, well … yes their distant ancestors were used to hunt wild game, but that was before the South African farmers started the selective breeding process, which changed the Boer Hund into the Boerboel, that is when they became a farm watchdog.
